My 2.5 yr old has been having a REALLY hard time going down for naps the past week and has also had a hard time gooing to bed on time. Do you think he is done w/ daytime naps?! He has been really cranky though. IDK???

both of my older kids had mandatory naps until about 4ish. I didn't care if they slept, they had to lay down and have 2 hours of "quiet time"

22 month Ds still takes a nap for about 2-3 hours a day and we plan on following the above plan for when he outgrows the actual sleeping part of the naptime. I think it's so important for them to have down time and rest!

My oldest was pretty much done with naps around 2 1/2. She actually went through a few month stretch where she didn't really nap at all. And then toward the end of my pregnancy with her brother she would nap with me. My son took a nap pretty much every day until he was 5, I think. Now he'll take one probably about once or twice a week. He's 6. My youngest just turned 2 and she still takes a nap everyday, but they have gotten shorter and a little later. The older two will sometimes have a rest time, though. Just depends on what's going on and how crabby they are.
